I would like to keep this, if possible. For large buildings, the 
location of the entrance is not always obvious. If you are approaching 
the building from the "wrong" direction, going to the center of the 
polygon will not always work. Sometimes, if the building is located near 
an intersection of highway=trunk or similar or surrounded by fences, a 
long detour may be needed to go to the right side of the building.

Therefore, I have been tagging the main entrance with the same tags as 
the building polygon, replacing building=yes with building=entrance. Is 
this really tagging for renderers?
